A resident of Bodo, who spoke to Channels Television, reported that the blast took place on an onshore pipeline near the starting point of the Bodo-Bonny road.
He suggested that the explosion was likely an act of sabotage. He noted that it has not yet been linked to recent political tensions in Rivers State.
